Introduction
Bread has been a vital staple in human history and culture. It’s seen not just as a source of sustenance but also as a profound symbol within spiritual contexts. In this discussion, the focus transitions from the traditional emphasis on the blood of Christ during communion to highlighting the significance of the body of Christ, represented as bread. The profound statement "I am the bread of life" from Jesus holds significant spiritual truths that we explore.
The Spiritual Meaning of Bread
Reflecting on the phrase "I am the bread of life," one realizes how crucial bread is in daily life. Bread serves as a staple food across different cultures, just as Jesus is meant to be the staple of our spiritual life. In John 6:33, Jesus states, "For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." This suggests that beyond our physical sustenance, there exists a deeper, spiritual hunger that only Jesus can satisfy.
Jesus as the Sustainer of Life
Jesus is not merely an option in our lives; he should be the core of our existence. He isn't just sought during times of trouble but must be the non-negotiable part of our daily lives. In John 6:57, Jesus says, "The one who feeds on me will live because of me." This reinforces the importance of relying on Jesus daily, akin to how we need physical food for our bodies. Just as we don’t skip meals, we should crave spiritual nourishment through the Word of God.
Daily Spiritual Nourishment
To achieve this connection with Jesus, one must engage actively with Scripture and fellowship with other believers. Activities such as attending church services or participating in Bible studies help sustain this spiritual relationship. It’s akin to the understanding portrayed in Psalms, where meditation on God's Word day and night is emphasized.
The Bread of Life as Comfort
The Bible denotes Jesus as a source of comfort, much like comfort food brings us solace during difficult times. Just as warm cornbread pairs perfectly with chili, Jesus’ presence offers warmth and guidance during our life’s challenges. Psalms 23 emphasizes this comfort; "Your rod and your staff, they comfort me," symbolizing Jesus as our protector and source of strength.
The Supernatural Supply of Jesus
In referencing Leviticus, the significance of bread becomes even richer. God warns about the consequences of disobedience through the metaphor of bread as a "staff" which symbolizes support and stability. Jesus fulfills this role by offering us renewed strength, comfort, and direction throughout life’s trials. He promises to be our support when we turn to Him for help.
Jesus Satisfies the Soul
Ultimately, Jesus offers the only true satisfaction that transcends worldly promises. While dining experiences may tantalize our taste buds, only Jesus can fill the deeper void within us. According to John 6:35, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again," highlighting that only through a relationship with Him can true fulfillment be achieved, unlike the fleeting nature of worldly pleasures.
Conclusion
The bread of life is not just a biblical metaphor but a transformative reality. Engaging with Jesus daily nourishes our spirits, providing the comfort and support we need. When we seek Him genuinely, we find sustenance for our souls that lasts a lifetime. In a world that endlessly offers fleeting satisfaction, turning to Jesus, the bread of life, is the solution that fulfills our deepest desires.

Historical Context of John 6:35
The book of John was written in a context where food security was a primary concern. Bread, often referred to as the "staff of life," was a staple for survival in the ancient Near East. In Jesus' time, Roman and Greek influences were prominent in the region, but Jewish dietary laws and customs still played a significant role.
John 6 occurs shortly after Jesus performs the miracle of feeding the 5,000 with five loaves and two fish—highlighting Jesus' ability to provide physically and spiritually. When Jesus said, "I am the bread of life," he was addressing a largely Jewish audience familiar with God's provision of manna in the wilderness, which was a crucial reminder of God's care and provision.
By designating himself as the bread of life, Jesus was making a radical claim of being essential to spiritual survival, not just offering daily bread like Moses, but eternal sustenance. This claim was revolutionary against the backdrop of traditional Jewish teachings about divine sustenance. His declaration was both comforting and challenging, pointing to a new covenant beyond the legalistic rituals of his time, emphasizing a personal and sustaining relationship with him.
This passage, in its historical context, underscores Jesus' fulfillment of Jewish messianic expectations and the introduction of a new spiritual paradigm, where spiritual sustenance and eternal life are made accessible to all through Him.

That last song that we sang is focused on the blood. And I grew up in Assemblies of God church, at least beginning at the age of eight. And so most of my memories of communion especially are memories that are focusing on the blood of Jesus Christ, which is a wonderful, glorious thing that we can thank him as a beautiful gift. Who can say amen? But it seems to me that oftentimes the body of Christ, the bread gets left out in the songs, in the praise, in the worship, and in the understanding.
And so today, I'm gonna focus a little bit more on the broken body of Jesus Christ represented in that loaf right there. And so this week, I started just meditating on one simple phrase, and that is when Jesus said, I am the bread of life. And I started thinking about bread, and I started realizing how hard my life would be without bread. I really love bread. French baguettes, Italian garlic bread, Indian naan cornbread.
And this loaf right here is presented by our very own Gabby Miller in the Golden Loaf. And doesn't it look golden to you? Yeah. And she makes these. And I snuck some last night, just so you know, because it's delicious.
It's kind of a San Francisco sourdough bread is what it is. She got the starter from there, and. And it's just delicious. And what I realized now, and even from the time I was growing up, that bread has always say, always, always. It's always been a staple in my life.
You know, there's potatoes, there's bread. A meal without bread seems to be missing something. I can skip dessert, but I cannot skip bread. It is survival food. In my research this week, I found out that the germans have over 3,000 different distinct breads.
Pumpernickel and rye, and all of these different things. I didn't tell my wife this, but I think one of our future vacations is going to be to Germany, because I got to try out. I mean, I got online. I couldn't even pronounce half the words. And so I want to taste them.
I want to put some nice butter on there and see what it tastes like. The average American consumes 53 pounds of bread every year. I do that just in Steak and Shake Burgers.
I want you to think about when Jesus said what he said. He's standing there in front of a big crowd in John chapter six and he says, I am the bread of life. There's a lot of things he could have said. He could have said, let me take you to some bread. Let me show you how to bake some bread.
He didn't do any of those things. He said, I am the bread of life. He was trying to communicate some spiritual truths. So today I need you to understand that he's not referring to physical hunger here. Now, hopefully the metaphor gets through, but he's referring to that ache in the gut, that spiritual longing that everyone has in this world.
And he's saying, I can satisfy that. Who can say Amen? And that's why I don't want you to ever think that communion is just something that we do. It's not just a religious ritual. It is a relationship with Jesus Christ.
We get to sit at a table, spiritually speaking with him every single time we do this. So when Jesus said, I'm the bread of life, he's trying to get some points across. He's trying to get you to understand first of all that like bread, Jesus should be the staple of your life. Bread is the staple of my meal. It's been a staple for countless cultures for thousands and thousands of years.
That's what Jesus should be for us. A staple is the main essential component of a meal. It's the food that you build everything else around. It's the constant that you can always rely on. Jesus is the same way he can be relied on.
Who can say amen? You can count on him. He's not just a Sunday morning ritual. He's not just someone that you go to when you're in trouble and you've gone through all of your other options. And oh yeah, there's God.
He is one that should be central. He should be the non negotiable in our lives. In John 6:33, listen to what he says. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. I love that scripture.
And we know that Jesus came down and gave his life, but he's saying that in giving his life, he's giving you life a second time. Because remember the first time Colossians tells us that by Jesus all things were created. So in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. In the beginning, God created your physical life. Even your physical life comes from Jesus.
But it's More than that, we know that through Jesus, life comes. But sin stained life. That's the challenge that we all face. That's the elephant in the room that we all have to deal with. Sin distorted our personalities.
It polluted our minds. What God originally designed as perfect, God tricked humanity into literally turning their backs.
But the good news is God never turned his back on humanity. God still loves us. God still cares about us. So much that he sent his only begotten son into this world. How many are old enough to remember Wonder Bread?
You guys remember Wonder Bread? The commercials used to go like this. They promised to help build a body to 12 ways, minerals and vitamins and different things like that. Jesus says, I'm the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.
Jesus is the wonder Savior who can say Amen. He's way better than Wonder Bread. Through him you can be born again. Do you guys remember that phrase? We don't talk about it very much anymore.
It's almost like the church is a little embarrassed by their mission of saving people from hell. There can be nothing, say nothing. There's nothing more important than bringing people into the kingdom of God. There's nothing more important than helping people understand. Why do we do this?
We do this in remembrance of Jesus Christ, what he did for us on that cross 2,000 years ago. He wants to give you a second chance at life, a real life, an abundant kind of life that is birthed in an instantaneous. When we say, God, I am sorry for my sins. And then it is an ongoing life where we feast upon him every single day of our lives. So Jesus is.
Yes, he's a staple. He's a source. He's the sustainer of life. In chapter six, again, verse 57, this is what he says. The one who feeds on me will live because of me.
The one who consistently has fellowship with me over and over and over again. How many of you had breakfast this morning? Let me see your hands. How many of you are gonna have lunch today? Let me see your hands.
How many of you are gonna eat at least once today? Let me see your hands. That's probably everybody here, right? We eat every single day to sustain this body. Jesus says, if you wanna sustain your spirit, man, that part of you that is even more important than your physical body, that part of you that is gonna live for forever, you need to eat every single day.
On him, who can say Amen?
Spiritually, Jesus is saying, I'm not optional. I'm not a spiritual extra. If you count Jesus that way. If you just come to church on Sunday and don't think of him the rest of the week, you're gonna be weak and inconsistent. You need a little bit every single day.
So what does that literally look like? Well, Jesus says that man does not live on physical bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. We are spiritually nourished as we read the Bible. We're spiritually nourished every time we go to a Bible study. We're spiritually nourished every Sunday morning when we listen to the Word and every Wednesday night.
That beginning this Wednesday night starts at 6:30 for church and 5:30 if you're coming for the food truck. And I'm saying amen to that. I'm not going to be going to Steak n Shake this Wednesday night. I'm going to be eating. What is it?
The flying empanada. The what? The dancing empanada. The dancing empanada. That's what I'm having this Wednesday night.
If you're not into that type of food, well, the next week we have something different for you. So something different's coming every week. But we eat every single day. We need to read the Bible every single day. Psalms goes on to say it this way.
We need to meditate on the Word day and night. When I think about that, I think about this 15 year old high school boy. He's going to football camp for the summer for an entire week. And on Wednesday night he calls his mom and mom answers the phone and he says, mom, they're not feeding us here. And mom goes into a tizzy.
She's like, honey, honey, honey, they promised in that brochure, didn't they, that they're going to feed them breakfast, lunch and dinner. And the husband's like, what is going on? And then finally the son goes, mom, mom, mom, they're sending us, they're feeding us breakfast, lunch and dinner, but that's it.
Anybody had a teenager in the house.
You know what I mean, don't you? Something clicks somewhere along the line where they want to eat all the time. I mean, I've heard of grazing before, but I've had kids in my house who literally can consume 10,000 calories in a day. They just eat and eat and eat. They want more and more and more.
And Jesus is saying that's how our relationship with him should be. We should want more and more and more of Jesus. Who can say amen? That's what we're trying to get at here. We need more of Jesus than we've ever had before.
Another way to feast on Jesus is what I call the prayer buffet. Have you ever been amazed by the fact that you can literally talk to the creator of the universe at any time and in any place? You don't have to be in church to get to him. I mean, you can be driving in your car, you can be in the middle of a fight, you can be, you know, at a restaurant, you can be at work, you can be talking to other people and God is right there beside you. I call it a prayer buffet because you have something many types of prayers that are mentioned in the Bible.
There are prayers for expansion, there's prayers of thanksgiving, prayers of intercession for other people, prayers of petition, there's praise and thanksgiving, and the list goes on and on and on.
I think the problem with prayer is it might be too easy, it might be too available.
Do you understand what you have access to? In 2022, Warren Buffett allowed a non profit organization to auction off a lunch with him. He had done it for 20 consecutive years and the winning bid was $19 million for one lunch with a man, with a human being. Do you understand what you have with God? Do you understand that every day we can do something infinitely greater and we don't have to bid on it, buy it, or beg for the privilege that literally the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords invites other each to a buffet with the divine presence of God every single day.
But the New Testament teaches us that the church is also the body of Christ. You know, sometimes we get all spiritually minded and we think, oh, I'm going to read my Bible and I'm going to pray. But the body of Christ is you and I. There's an implication there. The book of Acts says that they met together every day, that God added to the body every single day.
I believe daily connection with the body of Christ is another way where you can feast on Jesus Christ. You can do that simply through texting. You can do that through Facebook, Instagram, Instagram. You can do that by having a lunch with somebody, going to a Bible study, coming Wednesday night, Sunday morning, giving someone a phone call. There's a myriad of ways in which we can connect with Jesus body.
And he wants to do it, he wants us to do it on a regular and consistent basis. Which of those things are you going to do different this week? Number two, like bread, Jesus is the staff of life. Now you might be thinking, well, didn't he just say that? No staff of life does refer to bread being the central or main food in your diet.
But it has a deeper spiritual truth. It draws upon an older, richer meaning that comes from Leviticus, chapter 26, verse 26. And let me set the stage just a little bit here because the book of Leviticus is not a book that people like to read often because there's a lot of rules in there. And some of those rules don't have a direct application to what it is that we do today. So.
So when it's talking about cleansing the mold out of a house, we kind of turn it off sometimes. When it talks about how to deal with leprosy and blood and all of these issues, we're kind of like, well what? When we're modern people, we don't do stuff like that. But the point is God wants you to be holy, righteous and pure. Who can say amen?
That's what he's desiring in you. He wants you to be holy, righteous, and he wants you to be pure. And so in chapter 26, he finally starts summing up things. And this is what he says. He says, if you follow the rules that I've set down, you're gonna have a blessed life.
Life. If you don't follow these rules, and they're not really rules as in a parent gives to children, but they are laws that are in effect in the universe. They're more like gravity. When you violate the law of gravity, you're going to hurt yourself, right? If I jump from a 30 story building, I'm going to die.
If you violate these laws in the book of Leviticus, it causes negative things to happen in your life. And with that he begins to warn the children of Israel. And he says this, and when I have broken the staff of your bread, listen. He's communicating blessings and warnings. If the children of Israel are disobedient, he will break their staff.
A staff is a tool for support, guidance and protection. Remember the sin problem we talked about earlier? Sin causes us to go through life with a broken staff. We lose our support, we lose the things that bless us, we lose our protection. So when Jesus says he is the bread of life, he's offering you a brand new staff, something that you can lean upon.
And it is him, literally. He will support you. He will give you the stability that you need in every area of life. Who can say Amen? So Jesus brings support and stability like a shepherd's staff.
Think of Psalm chapter 23, probably the most famous Solomon in all the Bible. And in verse four, he says, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff comfort me. The staff is what comforts. I started thinking about that word comfort, and I started thinking about comfort first, since I'm talking about bread here.
And there's nothing like a good piece of cornbread with some hot chili. Oh, I'm telling you, if it's cold outside and sometimes we get spoiled down here in Florida, right? But I'm from South Dakota, and in South Dakota, it would get 40 below zero in the wintertime. And when you're in 40 below weather, there's nothing like hot, steaming, chilling. And I stole the cornbread from you guys down here in the South.
All right. Cause we don't have cornbread up there. But down here in the South. Oh. I think the pairing, it just comforts my soul.
Anybody else got a comfort food? Let me say comfort food. Roast, maybe that's simmering all Sunday morning, and you open the door and you can smell it wafting through the air. Comfort food. I mean, maybe a Wendy's frosty.
I know it's just the opposite, but it sure puts a smile on my face. That's all I can tell you. It puts a smile on my face. So hear me. When Jesus says he's the bread of life, he's saying he's your comfort food.
He's the one that you need to run to when you're walking on difficult paths. He promises to guide you and to fend off the dangers in your life. Jesus will provide security and direction. And as the bread of life, Jesus gives us the strength to walk through all of the difficulties of life. Who can say Amen?
But there's one more thought we need to consider, and that's this. Jesus brings a steady supply of the supernatural. Like Moses state. Do you remember Moses staff in the Old Testament? Remember, Moses is the one who wrote Leviticus.
He's trying to get a point across in Leviticus 26. 26. Look at the verse again. And when I have broken the staff of your bread. Such an interesting word.
But this is where we get the idea of staff of life. That bread is the staff of life. It goes on. 10 women shall bake your bread in one oven. In other words, there's not enough grain to go around the wheat.
10 families are cooking in one oven. And they shall deliver you your bread again by weight. In other words, they're just parsing it out just a little bit here and a little bit here. And you will not be satisfied. The Scripture says, what's going on?
Well, most modern translators change that word in verse 26. And it says, and when I have broken the supply of your bread, the modern translators realize that God is saying, when you live life out of order from the way he created it, it can affect your supply. At the very least, the supply will be hoarded by a few, and a lot of people will have hardly anything to live on. That's not how God wants the. This thing to work.
Who can say amen? So when he says, I'm the bread of life, when he takes the bread in his hand and he says, this is my body, which is broken for you, he wants you to know that communion is more than a symbolic ritual. Communion is where God still does the supernatural. Today. There is a supernatural supply of healing, especially in communion.
Who can say amen? I believe that before you walk out of this door today, someone's gonna be healed. Who can say amen? Somebody's gonna be healed in their body today. Sometimes when I'm really, really hungry, Robin and I go to a restaurant and get something to eat because I need to be satisfied.
Satisfied inside. And so my third point is, Jesus brings satisfaction the same way that bread can bring satisfaction.
So one of the restaurants we like to go to is Outback. I don't know if you've ever been there. It's a steak restaurant. Supposed to be Australian. I doubt if that's true, but they do have some good steaks.
And one of the things they offer when you first get there is, would you like some bread? And my answer's always, yes, Okay, I would like some bread. But there's one simple problem, and that is that bread fills me up. It's that dark brown loaf, if you know what I'm talking about. And, you know, they bake it with honey and molasses.
And so we. When I think of the bread of life, I think of something that fills my gut and something that fills my longing, but something that also tastes really, really good. So I get frustrated with communion. I'm just being honest with you. When we use that little cup and that cracker in there, for expediency sake, I understand.
I know why we do it. Doesn't make me happy, though, because a lot of times I choke on that cracker. A lot of times the wafer has no flavor at all. That's not my Jesus. My Jesus is filled with flavor.
My Jesus is delicious. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Who can say amen? And I get frustrated. But while I'm at that restaurant, I'll have a piece and promise myself I'll only have one piece.
And all of a sudden the waitress will come by and go, would you like another loaf? Because I ate the whole thing. And then I don't eat my steak or potato. I take it home with me because I am completely filled up on that loaf. John 6:35 says this.
I'm the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. And whoever believes in me will, will never be thirsty. Wow. I mean, I can have the greatest gourmet meal the world has ever seen.
I've had the privilege of going to one of the top 10 restaurants in the entire world in the Las Vegas strip. It's called Picasso. It literally has Picasso paintings hanging in there. I mean, these are 50, 70, 80 million dollar paintings hanging on the walls. And you go on in there and you pay $500 for something that's about this big.
Just so you know, okay? It doesn't fill you up, nor do any of the promises of the world. You can watch television and you know the commercials, right? You buy this car, you'll be happy. You go to this restaurant, you'll be happy.
You buy these clothes, you'll be happy. You get this makeup and you'll be a Runway model and you'll be happy. It's just lie after lie after lie after lie. And you do what they say and you're still hungry. Jesus says you don't have to play the game of the world.
Oh sure, some of it's sweet, some of it tastes good temporarily, there's no doubt about that. But it doesn't fill you, it doesn't keep you satisfied. It doesn't taste good in the long run. Jesus says whatever comes in goes out in a physical sense. The world offers you money, success, relationships, power, and endless entertainment.
But it all ends up empty. Jesus is the only one who can truly fill that void. So my question is simply this. Do you know the Jesus I'm talking about this morning? Morning?
Not the Jesus you might have thought about when you walked in the door. Not the Jesus of your mom and dad. Do you know the bread of life? Do you know the one who can fill the longing of the soul? I've always been amazed by, by Moses and, and God's interaction back in, in the book of Exodus and, and Moses is trying to get it out of the duty that he's being called to do.
And finally he goes, okay, I'll do what you want, God, but what's your name?
He doesn't say, well, I'm God. He doesn't use the term that everyone in that geographic area was using at that time, Elohim or El. He simply says, I am. How unusual, how weird. Until you start understanding the interactions that he has with David.
I am the shepherd, the interactions he had with Abraham. I am Jehovah, Jireh, your provider. I'm your healer. I'm your salvation. I'm your righteousness.
I'm your king. I'm your Lord, I'm the great one. The list goes on and on and on, and all of a sudden, Jesus picks it up at the very same time and he says, I am the way, the truth and the life. I am the door. I am the great shepherd, and I am the vine, and.
And I am the bread of life.
He's everything. That's right. He is absolutely everything. This is the Jesus that I'm talking about. Not some prophet, not some good man.
I'm talking about the King of kings and the Lord of Lords. Listen, listen. An American novelist wrote this. Bread is the king of the table, and all else is merely the court that surrounds the King. Well, I'm introducing you to Jesus, the King of kings, the Lord of Lords, and everyone.
And everything else is just the court that surrounds the King. Would you stand with me, please?
